Cubano from the film Chef
For breakfast this morning I had some very lucky family. They got Cubano from the film Chef. It's one of my all time favourite films. How could it not be, being such a foodie. Written, Directed and lead role from the amazing John Favreau. That film was also a major influence on the new tattoos. Bless him!
Anyways to Cubano from the film Chef. Cubano is a Cuban sandwich. It's a style of a good old UK favourite of a ham and cheese sandwich. It apparently originated ...

Avocado with prawns, lime, coriander and bacon bits
Avocado with prawns, lime, coriander and bacon bits, was a new recipe I made up for a ChillaxBBQ we did this weekend for a friends birthday. It turned out to be a head-turner, with many asking for more and more, and also for the recipe. So in the spirit of ChillaxBBQ sharing, here is that new recipe from us. Believe me this is simple and it is bloody good!
Ready to rock? This made quite a bowl full. Plenty for a family nibble. Avocado ...

ChillaxBBQ @ Lucy Ashenhurt's 21st Birthday
So today was a ChillaxBBQ lite, and a massive Birthday surprise for Flash's gorgeous wife Lucy. This was ChillaxBBQ @ Lucy Ashenhurt's 21st Birthday. Managed by stealth, Flash had organised a massage for he and Lucy, so that all could arrive at their new gaff and be standing awaiting the SURPRISE shout and singing of happy birthday as she literally dismounted her push-bike. It worked and it worked well. Nothing was prepped as Flash had to keep it a ...

Mr Kliman's ChillaxBBQ
Our first gig in Holland Village today for Mr Kliman's ChillaxBBQ. Met as a client, and now a mate. Will be sad to see him go when he moves back to Oz. The crew was honoured to be asked to do the food for his birthday party, round his gaff, and what a beautiful house it is too. Wow!!! Picture paints a thousand words so I will let the photos do the talking re the food. A few new things today, as mad rush to get in the LaLa caused me to forget a couple of things. Improv ...

Roo's Restaurant on Frankel Avenue, Siglap
OK I have had two major recommendations to visit this place for food. Apparently open since January, having taken over from Jag's, initially just selling drinks but now rather cool mixed bag restaurant too. The menu is quite large and aa mix of Western and Indian food style. Big screens for sport and leather loungers, awesome. This is Roo's Restaurant on Frankel Avenue, Siglap. This place is a gem. This is a MUST try on East Coast, or the whole of ...

BeBe's undetermined birthday @ Shao on Frankel Avenue
So BeBe's birthday was today but it became BeBe's undetermined birthday @ Shao on Frankel Avenue, because she completely forgot how old she is today. Too funny. But anyways, that aside, we had such a lovely family time at one of our favourite locals, down with Jack and his gang at Shao's. So lucky to get in though as it was PACKED with reservations. Wow!!!
Let's do some photos and things of the lovely night for BeBe's undetermined birthday ...

Rabbit, Carrot Gun @ Katong
Where to go for a lovely Sunday lunch today? Well how about we go to the cinema to watch Incredibles 2. So let's go see Ollie then at Rabbit, Carrot Gun @ Katong. Mary was a little hungover from the night before, so Daddy duty kicked in for Jude and Amy. Off we went for a lovely long lunch being served with Ollie and crew at Richard and Brent's. Even Dave the parrot came along with us - what did we scoff down today?
If you are going at the weekend I would very much ...

Fat Cow, Japanese Restaurant for Father's Day
This is really up there re $$$'s - but holy cow (excuse the pun) is the Wagyu Beef off the charts at Fat Cow, Japanese Restaurant for Father's Day. My mate Flash had been here a couple of weeks prior and sent a few photos of the meat on offer. It became an, I must try location. So my best bud Ruthers and our gangs booked her up and off we jolly well went. Check this place out. Seriously amazing food - just prepare yourself and save up first.
